  <abstract>Pure Perfect Presence, through sound, light and rays, manifests all phenomena of the universe. The universe is already primordially enlightened as the non-dual state of compassionate energy and empty wisdom. Primordial liberation is not produced by antidotes, trainings, purifications or transformations. Pure Perfect Presence manifests teachers and teachings which correspond to the interests and capacities of students in different times and places. Practitioners create. the. fatal obstacle of dualism by struggling with different methods to produce enlightenment. Practitioners deviate from the direct experience of all-pervasive limitless dzogchen by taking refuge in views, meditations; initiations, mandalas, samayas, behavior, paths, levels, subtle teachings and sacred activities. Realization of unfabricated, freedom beyond concepts and activities arises through total relaxation in the dzogchen transmission of Pure Perfect Presence.

The fundamental tantra of Dzogchen Semde; Kunjed Gyalpo, was re-transmitted on this planet by Guru Garab Dorje a few hundred years after Buddha Shakyamuni's parinirvana. The tantra directly explains instantaneous primordial enlightenment: beyond cause and effect. The twentieth century. Tibetan: abbot Khenpo Zhenphen Öser, wrote this commentary named Ornament of the State of Samantabhadira. With 2400 Tibetan, folios, the commentary explains all 84 chapters of the Kunjèd Gyalpo.</abstract>
